Contact Olive Garden

The right number depends on what you need — a restaurant issue, a catering
order, or a media inquiry all go to different places. Here’s exactly where each
one goes.

Which contact do you actually need?

Most delays happen when a request goes to the wrong line — restaurant complaints don’t need
the corporate office, and media inquiries shouldn’t go to Guest Relations.

Most common need

Guest Relations

For anything tied to an actual visit, order, or experience — this is the line to use before the
corporate office.

Guest Relations

Order problems, incorrect charges, food-allergy questions, refund requests, and general complaints. Start with the restaurant manager first if the issue is happening in real time — Guest Relations is best for anything that needs company-level follow-up.

Mon–Fri, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. ET

(800) 331-2729

✓

Start with the restaurant if it’s happening now —

a manager can often resolve it faster than a phone call to Guest Relations.

✓

Ask for a case number

when you call, and note the date, representative, and what was promised.

✓

Be specific about the resolution you want —

a refund, replacement, corrected charge, or gift-card correction, rather than a general complaint.

Specific requests

Catering & gift card support

Catering orders

Best handled directly with your local restaurant, since catering logistics (lead time, delivery range, order
minimums) are location-specific.

Contact local restaurant

See our catering page for details

Gift card balance & issues

Check your balance online, in-restaurant, or by calling the number printed on the back of your physical card — that’s the most reliable source since it’s specific to your card.

questions faster than a corporate line.

Frequently asked questions

Guest Relations can be reached at (800) 331-2729, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time. This is the right line for order issues, complaints, and refund requests.

Guest Relations handles day-to-day customer issues — orders, complaints, refunds. The corporate office number is for formal correspondence or escalation, not routine questions.

1000 Darden Center Drive, Orlando, FL 32837 — the same headquarters shared with parent company Darden Restaurants, Inc.

Directly through your local restaurant — catering details like lead time and delivery range are handled at the location level, not through a national line.

Through Olive Garden’s media relations contact, listed on their official news and media page — this is separate from Guest Relations and isn’t for general customer questions.
